Christianity was introduced to Egypt in a limited form early in the faith's history. The Coptic Orthodox Church is based on the teachings of Saint Mark who traveled to Egypt in 61 A.D. The name Copt comes from the early Greek name for Egypt, Aigyptos. The Coptic Church has given the world St. Cyril, the philosopher Origen, and began the monastic tradition in Christianity. While the Coptic Church has flourished and spread around the world, it does maintain its own Papal Leadership separate from that of Rome and is often categorized as one of the Eastern Orthodox faiths.
